Revised Cost Recovery from Other Resources - (GMS) POPP content have been issued to operationalize the Harmonized Conceptual Funding Framework approved by the joint decision of the Executive Board of UNDP/UNFPA, UNICEF and UNWOMEN. The guidelines reflect the new GMS rates approved by UNDP's EB (EB decision 2013/9) effective 1/1/2014, and the new GMS distribution rates approved by UNDP's Executive Group in January 2015. The content details the Management Activities that should be funded from GMS income, and the transition required for non-Management Activities that were previously funded from GMS. The revised policy also highlights the key messages on Cost Recovery that offices need to understand and convey to UNDP's development partners.
